65. Forgiving One Another
Matt. 18:21-22; 5:23-24; 6:14-15; Eph. 4:31-32
Leader reads the plain lines; the congregation reads the bold lines.
Then came Peter to him, and said, Lord, how oft shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? till seven times?
Jesus saith unto him, I say not unto thee, Until seven times: but, Until seventy times seven.
Therefore if thou bring thy gift to the altar, and there rememberest that thy brother hath ought against thee;
Leave there thy gift before the altar, and go thy way; first be reconciled to thy brother, and then come and offer thy gift.
For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you:
And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you.
